RCfabrication · Jan 13, 2015

Good evening
New here and this is our current build we started off with a 1946 ford 3/4 ton
I has a vision of building a big 4x4 truck we used a Chevy 350 and a Chevy drive train this is what we have accomplished so far

Im a Chevy guy and its a cleaner looking lift and cleaner motor in my opinion

a ford running gear and frame is very similar to a chevy that,s all don,t think it would make the job any more difficult which one you use, but since the builder is a chevy guy go for it[

Everything on the truck is the 1946 ford besides the drive train we didn't want too just thro a cab on a new chasses I hate when ppl do that no offense so we had too modifi the frame a little bit we bought 40 inch toyo open county mud tires they will be in next week the wheels alone will lift the truck 9 inches

Lookin' good. Its fun to see someone going up instead of down around here once in a while.

Yea, all mine are going down, but I have built up in the past.

Which ever way ya' go, have fun with it. [cl

One more thing. How you gonna get that monster out the door?" It looks like it is already too tall.

I like it ,,,, and the reason I like chevys is I think from 84 on back on the v-8s parts interchange and they are 1/2 the price of a ford ... .. But there are 7 fords in my yard now

So I dont hate them I just like a chevy better .. cheaper to replace parts on for some reason [S[S[S[S I never did get that..

Put a winch below/in front of it(between the frame horns).....and it will look right.

Nothing a little cutting can't solve
